Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

[Raen Ryong]

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else yet.

Has anyone checked the new Abyssea-Konstach Refresh+1 Hairpin? Does it actually give the wearer a full level of fresh, or it like a gimp refresh?

And how long did I wait for my Duelist's Chapeau? Should have just waited for Abyssea I guess...

These hairpins don't have Enfeebling Skill+15!

EDIT: Also for general spellcast syntax errors, try running your .xml in Firefox. It'll quickly tell you if you're obviously made a mistake somewhere.

Just started soloing vnm t2 using the epicfence, and haven't had any issues with the pulls/Yacumama, but I do have one question:
How do people avoid Capricornus' Mighty Strikes + Recoil Dive?

[Darkmagi]

Let it hit you once and just run in a line and it won't hit you. On rdm I just straight tank and run on 2hr, laughably easy without fence if your doing this on rdm.

Sync to 10 and go to Windy to kill rabbits. Soooooo many rabbits. Can get a hundred within an hour easy peasy.

Can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks, finished my last 137 in about 50 minutes.

I see; I tried to use the fence, but Recoil Dive would always hit me. Guess I gotta do this the next time I pop it!

Best place for ladybug trial if I have 2 melees and a rdm pl? Was planning on Jugner (S) but wasn't sure if there was somewhere better I can do with more than being solo.

[Darkmagi]

That's probably the fastest. You should probably have one person pull while you kill since the pops are fairly spread out, might speed it up a bit.

[Aerynlia]

To save me a couple mins running around, which part of the map are they on?

Edit: Nvm found em. J-5 for future reference.

So Thorny after I read all the stuff about MNK zerging is superior to DRK zerging I started to think do you ever considered DNC as job for zerg fights?
If the new neck is 5% DW a DNC who would reach 25%haste and 2.0 avg pdif would make about 20k dmg in 1 min w/o WSing.

Follow up on the macc topic: as I suspected, Fortalices are immune to bind Will look for a better target tomorrow.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Anyone know the DW on Charis Necklace and Auric Dagger yet?

[Raen Ryong]

I believe Auric was shown to be ~5%.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Source? And does that actually make it better than other options? I wouldn't think so :/

[Darkmagi]

I don't know of the actual testing source but I remember when people first saw it in the .dats one of the other languages showed it saying it as 5%.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Either way, and granted I may be calculating this completely incorrectly, but 5% delay off of say Auric Dagger and Parazonium would only be ~20. DMG39/Delay190 doesn't seem terribly impressive, given the Magian alternatives.

[Atoreis]

I believe Auric was shown to be ~5%.

yeah and if neck is also 5% then we have 45% DW and with 79% haste thats
about 45 daley round with brutal and saber dance thats 45 daley round of avg 3.1 hits per round (auric+str/att kila(i know there is betetr combo like Twashtar)) and thats 20k dmg in 1 min with avg pdif 2.0 and I bet 248 hits in 1 minute must look awesome.

Kila+kila 21,57 dps counting fstr(not counting att)
auric+kila 22.32 dps counting fst(not counting att)

So idk tbh

You are. DW is calculated just like haste, increasing returns and all. Assuming suppa, it'd be 8.33% increase. If the neck is also 5%, then with that you'd get 9.09% out of it.

[Priran]

I don't know of the actual testing source but I remember when people first saw it in the .dats one of the other languages showed it saying it as 5%.

Both Charis Necklace and Auric Dagger say "Enhances 'Dual Wield'" in every language.

5% for Auric comes from a test by the first guy who reported getting one.
